Like many of James's Pokémon before it, Yamask is very friendly and is shown to have a great relationship with its Trainer. It is a very thankful Pokémon, as shown when it willingly entered James's Poké Ball after it was given a little food. Unlike most of James's other Pokémon, such as his {{TP|James|Victreebel}}, {{TP|James|Cacnea}} and {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, Yamask doesn't show any kind of special affection to him when coming out of its Poké Ball. Also Yamask can shown to be powerful when using a shawdow ball to make a fire of the habitat of Archen.

As seen in ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', it can use its mask to deflect attacks, much like how [[Ash's Oshawott]] uses his scalchop. It can also, like [[Jessie's Seviper]] before it, use {{m|Haze}} to shroud Team Rocket in a dark cloud of smoke to allow for a quick escape.

History

James and Yamask

Yamask appeared before Team Rocket in a warehouse in Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!. Meowth suggested that they capture it to increase their strength. Jessie agreed and called out her Woobat to battle it, but James claimed it was hungry and he proceeded to feed it. Once it was full, it happily went into James's Poké Ball, the trio welcoming their newest addition with enthusiasm.

Yamask has since worked together with Jessie's Woobat to ambush Ash and co. or try to keep them from advancing after Team Rocket has stolen Pokémon, or use Haze or Night Shade to give Team Rocket a chance to escape.
